Coach: Shane Coffey
21-22 Record: 15-10
As they enter a new season, the Lady Tigers of Broken Arrow are excited and ready to get things going with second year head coach Shane Coffey. Between returning starters and new faces, the Lady Tigers feel poised to have a big season. “We have a strong nucleus back from a year ago, including three starters,” Coffey said. “Of our ten losses last season, nine of them came to state semifinal teams from Classes 6A and 5A. We will continue to showcase a tenacious attitude on both ends of the floor. With a group of talented underclassmen to fill roles with players with experience, expect Broken Arrow is to be a State Tournament contender.”
McKenzie Mathurin (5-10, So.) averaged 11.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 4.8 assists last season and looks to have another big season. She has received multiple DI offers, including four from power five schools. She is a fierce competitor that has a ‘refuse to lose’ mentality. Taneya Howard (5-10, Sr.) is back after contributing 6.3 points per game last year and she will work in increase those numbers and make a bigger impact on the court.
